We think about cities as products.

We believe it is possible to build new

satellite cities (50-100k people).

Inspiration: Work is about to start on a high-density, car-free "satellite city" for 80,000 people that will be built from scratch in a rural location close to Chengdu and later replicated in other parts of China.

People are open to new options Co-working is huge for a reason > cities can be lonely People want to live next to their friends Urban walkable cities are becoming too expensive for people that work in creative industries Millienials and retired baby boomers don’t want to live in the suburbs

Satellite City No ownership No cars Co-living Co-working Close enough to major metros, with people commuting a maximum of 2 days/week

Who will live there initially? Startup people / Remote workers: 1-12 months Writers/Painters: 1-12 months Architects: 1-3 months Software engineers: 1-6 months Makers: 1-3 months

Who will live there initially? Musicians: 1-3 months Visual Artists: Weekend - 2 weeks Performing Artists: Weekend - 2 weeks Filmmakers: Weekend - 2 weeks Graphic Artists: 1-3 months

Plan 1/ Build founding team. 2/ Build community beach head in SF/Oakland, and use an established campground as testing ground. 3/ Start by renting the entire campground and hosting cash-flow positive week-long retreats there. 4/ Once ready, master lease campground and move a large group of people to campground (they sign 1yr lease). 5/ Once we've moved a large group of people there and validated thesis, execute option to purchase campground and purchase options on surrounding land.

Founding team Together, we will have the potential to be the best in the world at: 1/ Community 2/ Product 3/ Engineering 4/ Operations 5/ Finance 6/ Real Estate 7/ Marketing 8/ People Operations & HR

Thank You! :)

Appendix: Alice laughed. “There's no use trying,” she said. “One can't believe impossible things.” “I daresay you haven't had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!"
